Chinese culture can contribute significantly to a country’s success, according to William Ratliff, research fellow and former curator of the Americas Collection at the Hoover Institution and research fellow at the Independent Institute.
Dr. Ratliff argues that culture in general and Chinese culture in particular matter a great deal to a nation’s economic and political development. He spoke with Friends and Foes of Liberty about the role of culture, the resounding success of the Asian Tigers–Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan–in the latter half of the 20th century, and the unfulfilled expectations of the Arab Spring.
Hosted by Ying Ma, Friends and Foes of Liberty is a show featuring in-depth discussions with thinkers, doers and leaders about freedom, geopolitics, international affairs and U.S. foreign policy.
